I hope everyone had a good weekend!  Mine wasn't long enough.  Megan came home from college for the weekend to see her sister.  Alyssa is leaving Wednesday for a semester abroad in Germany.  I can't believe the time is almost here.  Alyssa is excited and I'm getting more nervous.  The mom in me wants to bring her over and make sure everything is ok for my baby.  Then I keep reminding myself she is 21 and it's her adventure to live.  Once she gets to Germany, checks out the school and her housing, my nerves will calm down.  It's the unknown that has me worried.  

Onto other things.  I finally got in my stamp room this afternoon and came up with this card.  I do like my monochromatic cards and also Tranquil Tide.  The stamp set is from the SAB catalog and you can get it free with a $100 purchase!  The saying are perfect.  You can mix and match the words to fit your needs.  The words are very traditional, with no puns.  The script is elegant but not overly fussy.  I don't like fussy fonts that you can't read.  

The three papers, not Whisper White, are all 4 inch across.  As we all know, the measurements can be off by a hair and that is frustrating.  I added the ribbon purposely on the left side for two reasons.  First...Adds some texture to the card.  Second...Hides the edges if they are off slightly.  Receivers of the card won't know it things aren't perfectly aligned up.  Perfect.

Can't get much easier of a color combo that this one, but I really like it.  

Here's to having a good week!
